The Camping Kitchen
| July 16, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Travel, Travel Tips |
As much as I love camping, little is more frustrating than trying to make food in the middle of nowhere only to find you don’t have the right equipment. It’s like cooking in someone else’s kitchen: it’s really hard and the food doesn’t taste as good. Unless you are prepared and comfortable with your equipment,…

We’re still out and about this week – or rather setting out for out and about. We’re camping on route to Croatia for a week, then spending a week there. It should make for some beautiful stop overs and fantastic experiences! I also had the opportunity, before we left, to meet some of my blogging…

Summer time. Sea, sand and sun. Or city, parks and sun. Or mountains, trees and sun. Or farm, animals and sun. No matter how you spend your summer, there is one likely element you can’t escape: the sun. Having grown up in a very hot and sunny country, I think I have a much deeper…
Just Have to Share – Breakfast Flapjacks / Crumpets / Pancakes
| July 11, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Kids in the Kitchen |
Before I can even tell you about this recipe, I have to clarify terminology. I am from South Africa. In the children’s cookbook that I have had for years upon years, these are called flapjacks. In the UK, flapjacks are something totally different, and these are more likely to be called crumpets. In the US,…

We have had another fantastic week of travel and visitors. We have been so blessed, and my Dad, Mom and Brother deserve a huge thank you for making all this possible for us. We could not have managed this holiday for ourselves at this time, much less given my gran such an amazing time. My gran has been on my ‘best friend’ list since I was a child. She’s never been one of those cuddly, spoiling us kind of grans, but she has always been fair and just and she’s always been there for me, been my advocate and really ‘seen’ me.
There are so many ways where we are so different, but I’ve always felt like I could go to her with anything I needed to. Having this time to share with her, and seeing her bond with my daughter and being able to show her the land her own grandmother walked on, the town she lived and so on has meant more to me than I can ever relay in words. Thank you Mom, Dad & Ziech for making this possible.
